Pink Tabebuia Tree 45G

Pink Tabebuia Tree in 45-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL

Elegant, airy, and bursting with beauty—the Pink Tabebuia Tree (Tabebuia heterophylla or Handroanthus heptaphyllus, depending on cultivar) is a stunning spring-blooming tree that paints the landscape with trumpet-shaped pink flowers before its leaves return. It’s a favorite across South Florida for its resilience, charm, and ability to transform a street or garden with just one tree. Often leafless when in full bloom, the dramatic floral display feels like a cloud of pink hovering in the air.

This 45-gallon pot delivers a strong, flowering specimen—ready to add seasonal drama to any sunny garden.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Full sun is a must—at least 6–8 hours daily to fuel the bloom cycle.

• Watering: Moderate. Water consistently while establishing; becomes drought-tolerant when mature.

• Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soils preferred. Tolerant of slightly acidic to neutral pH.

• Fertilizer: Lightly fertilize in spring with a bloom-boosting or balanced slow-release formula.

• Growth Habit: Upright with a rounded canopy and striking branch structure. In a 45-gallon pot, tree is usually 8–10 feet tall. Mature trees can grow 20–30 feet tall and wide.

• Temperature: USDA Zones 9b–11. Built for South Florida's subtropical climate—heat and humidity are no problem.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune only to shape or remove dead wood. Some leaf drop during dry or cool seasons is normal.

Flower Notes:
Large, trumpet-shaped pink blossoms burst forth in spring, often before leaves emerge. Blooms attract bees, hummingbirds, and admiring humans alike. Flowering can be triggered by a dry season followed by rain.

Medicinal & Nutritional Benefits:
While the Tabebuia genus includes species like Pau d’Arco known for anti-inflammatory and immune-supportiveproperties, this ornamental pink variety is primarily grown for its beauty—not for medicinal use. Bark and plant extracts are not recommended for consumption without guidance.
